De Nardos ​

I can not accept that you are forever gone.I can still see your smilewhen I close my eyes.I still remember you with,The singing of the cicadasduring a Mexican sunset.The sweet smell offreshly baked orange cake.The sound of the rain upon an old tin roof.The sweetest smile of an innocent child.The scent of Nardosyour favorite flower.Perhaps I told you athousand times thatI loved youBut I should have said it one more time, always one more time.And not assume that you already knew it.You are still living here,inside my heart.But in my soul you left an empty space that nobody could fill ever.You have drifted away like, the Nardos scent in October.

​Soul Serenade

Bare my soul but not my skin;touch my heart, but not my body.Talk to me in the most sweet andbeautiful way, run your fingersthrough my skin and write me a love poem. But never shall you feel the music and wonders ofmy body until you finally learnthe song of my soul. I will touchyour body like a fine guitar,leaving heart prints all over you.My soft and delicate caress willserenade your heart and I'll findthe path to your soul and makeyou forever mine through eternity.

My Voice ​

My world teeters but I will not fall

I'm standing heretall and proud No matter what life throws at me

I'm making my own path with the stones that I stumble on

Will not follow the crowd

My dreams could bescattered by the wind like pieces of a dandelion

But if I can touch a heart with my words, if I can make someone think twice before they act,then my work wasn't in vain.

Leaving my mark along the path Always with my head upnever looking down Getting up if I fall.

Sowing kindness and love for if someday I have to take a step back

I'll never give up Holding my dream tight, It won't matter if I make my hands bleed

My writing is my voice and it will remain when I'm gone.

Flaming Wings

She had fire on her wings, and deep wounds in her heart, reborn like a phoenix from the burning ashes of Hell, she had a shattered soul and it was coming out through her eyes, warm and salty tears like an endless rain. But still she is not defeated, she'll wipe her tears and spread her wings wider, the time to soar even higher has come.

​In Your Eyes​

In your eyes I saw the sunset;I saw the full Moon rising high.I see a love that will never endthrough the twilight of our lives.I see us waltz lovingly everydaycarefree, innocent and beloved.Move with an enchanting gracefear none of the evil displayed.Drift away into sweetest dreamsenjoy your journey without harm.Hold my hand and kiss my lipsat sunrise, dreams will be gone.In your eyes I saw the answer to my prayers from the one above.In your eyes I found the peace I was looking for, in your eyesI found my forever home.
